About Andrew

Hello, name is Andrew. I’m a 67-year-old with a lifelong passion for dogs. As a retiree and empty nester and plenty of free time, I’ve decided to combine my love for dogs and the community.

I am responsible, dependable, and committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience. Your dog's well-being is my top priority.

I am available any day of the week, any time of the week.

Experience

I have raised and cared for dogs of various breeds and sizes throughout my life, understanding the importance of regular exercise and stimulation. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior dogs.

Meet Bruce

I share my life with Bruce, a lovable Bernese Mountain Dog who brings me endless joy. Bruce is an integral part of my family, and I treat him with the same care and attention I would offer to any dog in my care. I understand the bond between a dog and their owner and promise to provide the same level of love and respect to your furry companion.

My Home

Bruce and dogs are allowed to roam and sleep anywhere in the house. I also have a small backyard that is fully fenced.

I live near a number of parks that I walk Bruce to on a daily basis, including Alexandria Park, which is an off-leash zone.

    • Dog walks for a minimum of 30 mins. Up to 2 walks per day.

    • Home Visits:

        Dog Boarding
        Linda, 2024-07-15

        It was our dog's first experience boarding (4 days), and we couldn't be happier with the care Andrew (and Bruce) gave her. She cleary loved her stay, as well as his company.

        Andrew was with her 24/7, took her for daily walks and even groomed her (getting rid of tricky knots and matted hair). He was great with communication/photos and entirely trustworthy.

        Even though we don't live in the area, we'll continue to use Andrew every time from now on.

        Andrew and his bet friend friend Bruce are great sitters!

        Super patient with puppies and very attentive to their needs.

        Locals know and love the dynamic duo

        Couldn’t recommend a better sitter
